They are all over the place right now and sell for around $90- $125. for the run of the mill 91/30 model. They are fun to own and shoot. Most people that have one contract a virus that causes you to buy them uncontrolably.

I just compared the two. They are similar but not the same. The nagant sling is made with the leather loops designed to wrap perpendicular to the sling. The original sks sling has the loops designed to attach in line with the sling.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, was starting to think I should have bought 2. Should be getting a Nagant soon, but I'm picky. Has to be 1942 or previous.

Not sure yet, I kinda prefer the hex, but round will work too, the biggest thing that I like about them is that you can all but guarantee that any given Mosin (depending on the year of manufacture) was used in WWII.
